The Olivette

A bard can use the Olivette as a spellcasting focus for their bard spells. It does not require attunement.

Grace at the Bottom of the Dice. When you cast a spell that restores hit points using one or more dice, treat any 1 rolled on a healing die as the highest number on that die (a 1 on a d4 becomes 4, on a d6 becomes 6, on a d8 becomes 8). This applies separately to each die.

The Lower Choir. Whenever the Olivette alters a healing die, the spell takes on infernal trappings: guttering flames that don't burn, a shadow briefly horned or winged, the smell of sulphur, hot iron or scorched cedar, wounds closing under glowing red script that crumbles to ash, or deep brass, drums, chains and a far-below choir under the bard's music. Powerful healing can turn theatrical: stone like heated basalt, ruddy cracks of light, oppressive heat, whispered hymns in unknown tongues. None of it deals damage, ignites anything, summons creatures, changes damage type or spell school, or otherwise alters the spell.

Vessel of Many Gods. Divination about which power made or empowers it gives contradictory answers: celestial, infernal, divine, profane, consecrated, cursed, blessed and, once, "administratively disputed". New symbols are occasionally found on it; whether they were always there is uncertain.
